Named Pipes Under Attack: Securing Windows Interprocess Communication

Windows named pipes enable fast interprocess communication but can expose privileged services when access controls are insufficient. ThreatLocker details defensive measures including endpoint verification, command authorization, input validation, and privilege scoping to harden named-pipe security.

Why it matters: Windows administrators and developers need to evaluate named-pipe configurations in their environment to prevent local privilege escalation and lateral movement attacks.
